It is a privilege to
welcome you to the SEVENTH SPRING FESTIVAL celebrations
of the Herricks Indo US Community Inc. being held at
the Herricks MIDDLE School at 5 pm on MAY 17TH, 2008.
I greatly appreciate your support for the Herricks
Indo-US Community organization. This organization
was created for a very specific purpose as outlined
in our mission. As members of this community, we share
a common vision and that is to ensure that the Herricks
school district continues to retain its outstanding
reputation, and we, as part of this community, ensure
that all members who are of Indian background contribute
to the school’s success and participate in community
events.

Our primary goal of is to enable our members to understand
the workings of the Herricks school system and encourage
active participation in it. I do believe that an active
involvement in your child’s school makes a lasting
difference to the development of your child academically
and socially. I strongly urge you to play an active
role in your child’s education by volunteering
for PTA events, attending PTA meetings to keep abreast
of events in school, attending and expressing your
opinion at the Board of Education meetings and voting
on the school budget.
Our school budget vote is scheduled for Tuesday,
May 20, 2008 at the Herricks Community Center. We
hope all members who are citizens of the USA have
registered to vote. Please do register to vote for
all elections – national, state and local, including
the Herricks School elections, at the Nassau County
Board of Elections. To register for Herricks school
votes, you may go to the Herricks Community Center

also a special evening registration on Tuesday, May
6 in the Community Center from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
